Bryce Dallas Howard's documentary Dads, which will debut at the Toronto Film Festival on Monday, will reportedly be heading to the Apple TV+ streaming service. The tech company used its "first-look" deal with Imagine Documentaries (the film company of Bryce's father Ron Howard) to secure rights to the documentary. It focuses on what fatherhood looks like in today's world with commentary from ordinary dads as well as celebrity fathers like Jimmy Fallon, Neil Patrick Harris, and Will Smith.

There is no premiere date yet for Dads, but a run in theatres is said to be "on the table." Apple hasn't commented on the deal yet.
